Cwmystwyth mines

Highlight • Structure

This is a historic mining site, with activity dating back to the Bronze Age. The 18th century was its heyday, with silver, zinc and lead all being mined here. It's also the site where the Banc Ty'nddôl sun-disc was discovered in 2002. Over 4,000 years old, this gold disc is the earliest such artefact ever unearthed in Wales.
